As we look at Labor Day in the rear view mirror, we wave goodbye to Summer and begin to welcome Fall. The first official day of Fall isn’t until September 23rd but with the leaves turning colors and the temperatures dropping overnight it sure feels like Autumn in Wisconsin.
Perhaps the absolute must-do fall activity that cannot be missed is a trip to the apple orchard. With that being said, what can we expect as we grab our baskets and head out to find the perfect apple? Despite a polar vortex and wet Spring, apple farmer David Wildes says that the crop this Fall is going to be good. It may not be as good as other years but if you take all the obstacles into account, it’s promising.
Wildes is the owner of AppleBerry Farms in Cross Plains. Compared to farms in other parts of the state, his orchard handled Mother Nature’s challenges well, he explains.
Josh Scramlin recently sat down with Wildes at his farm on a rainy day and chatted about how apples and other berries are fairing in Wisconsin. To hear their full conversation, click the play button below:
